Reves, have you been able to go through the articles and info on this site? Score keeping is usually because of sacrifice in marriage and that is BAD BAD BAD for marriage.

You have a long hard road ahead, but by using MB you could have a FANTASTIC marriage.

Thanks again everyone. Yes, I've read the articles and asked my husband to come here. He doesn't want anything to do with this and says he's afraid this site will make me want to leave him. One of the big reasons I'm not here all the time.

I agree with all. I'm not going to, nor do I want to do anything that will make him insecure. He doesn't like to run and at times that's all the exercise I can squeeze in.

I also agree with keeping score. I'm not a scorekeeper. If I felt I would use his affair as a weapon or an excuse I would just leave. When I wrote "xyz" I meant little quirks that used to be endearing now annoy me. Like, he just had a bad cold and left a graveyard of used tissue on his side of the bed.

He did that before and I sent him a picture at work teasing ... You done with these? He teased back ... No I'm saving them. So I took a picture of me wearing nothing but the tissues and said ... I can see why. He came home even before I showed the txt done sending. laugh. Now it just pisses me off.

I know I need to work through this but sometimes it's hard.

Reeves, if he wants to know what happens to WH who come here he can look at me. I came here looking for advice because I wasn't sure what to do. I read the site and posted. I got a good bit of feedback that was a kick in the butt to get me moving towards fixing my marriage, not leaving it. When I posted I thought that I'd get raked over the coals but I didn't. People honestly want to help.

Uh, no. This site is all about building, maintaining, and repairing marriages. Tell your hubby to get his butt on board with this program. This place is about keeping you two TOGETHER, not tearing you apart.

He won't regret it.

Okay, message to Reves WH: If you don't feel comfortable posting right now, that's fine. But READ the material on this website, and a few threads as well, and you'll see this is one helluva place to land in your situation. You couldn't be in better hands than what this place has to offer. Let me tell you something right now; if I had know this place existed 8 years ago, I wouldn't be without the love of my life and a stepson that I love (to this day) right now. I'm thoroughly convinced of that.

The choice is yours


Every man I meet is in some way my superior; and in that I can learn of him.

Agree with Tiger and all.

Kinda like scoping out a gym and a trainer if you haven't been for years. Sign on, and expect accountability and homework, but the benefits are fabulous!

Reves H, come on in. The water is not warm, but more like the Polar Bear Club! You get a blanket though...

Reves, if he doesn't want to come on here, would he at least give the online program a chance? He wouldn't have to post on here.

Marital recovery after an affair is quite difficult and it is a narrow path. We wish only the best for you and your marriage.

This is a MARRIAGE BUILDERS website. We want to help build SPECTACULAR marriages.

Give the online course a try. I think it would help you immensely.
